“They’ve been taking trips down memory lane looking at photos from their previous tours and using their outfits from back then as inspiration…
“Some of the vintage looks were really sexy, including the Gaultier-inspired corset dresses and bright red sequin dresses…
‘They want to make sure there are nods to these. “It has been very exciting for them to start putting the finishing touches on the tour and see it all come together.”
Announcing the tour in November, the quartet revealed that the group has not recorded new music but just wants to celebrate their back catalogue.
Cheryl revealed they had been discussing plans for some time but put the idea on ice when Sarah, who died in September 2021, was diagnosed with cancer.
She said in a statement: “We all started talking about the possibility of doing something to celebrate Girls Aloud’s 20th anniversary a few years ago. The anniversary seemed like an obvious thing we would celebrate.
‘But when Sarah became ill, all priorities changed. She passed away a year before her anniversary and she just didn’t seem right to me, she seemed too soon to me.”
The group plans to use the tour to “celebrate” their late friend.
The group, which included confirmed tour news in November last year, will go on tour next month and June to mark 21 years since their formation.
Cheryl added: “Now I think there’s an energy that makes it feel good.” It’s the right time to celebrate Sarah, it’s the right time to celebrate the band and the right time to celebrate the fact that we can still do this 21 years later. It’s a great honor”.
Kimberley said: ‘Over the last year, we’ve felt this outpouring of love, obviously towards Sarah, but really towards all of us as a group.
And I guess it’s reignited something in all of us. “It feels like something has changed and it feels like the right time to celebrate Sarah and the 20th anniversary that we didn’t celebrate at the time.”
The group hopes fans enjoy the tour as much as they do.
Nadine said: ‘Girls Aloud are a band that had such a huge impact on people’s lives. We grew up with the band, but so did a lot of other people.
“So for us not to do something again is a shame and a waste. “We want to have that moment with the fans where we can all enjoy it together.”
